Preferential Treatment in Laptop Theft?

Colorado judicial authorities knew that former district court judge and then-Denver City Attorney was suspected of stealing a $1,600 state computer when they told police they didn’t want him prosecuted "at this time."

That fact and others were contained in a news release by the State Court Administrator’s office Thursday.

However, the judicial authorities said Larry Manzanares did not receive "any preferential treatment" by administrator’s office, which they said was conducting its own investigation, independent of Denver police
